O'gres

of nursery mythology are giants of very malignant dispositions,
who live on human flesh. It is an Eastern invention, and the word is
derived from the Ogurs, a desperately savage horde of Asia, who overran
part of Europe in the fifth century. Others derived it from Orcus, the
ugly, cruel man-eating monster so familiar to readers of Bojardo and
Ariosto. The female is Ogress.
